Robert Sorby Sovereign System 12" Handle - ref: SOV-12S

Plus 2 x Collet Adaptors - ref: SOV-C10 + SOV-CT

Handles:

• The SOV-22 - Designed for turners who enjoy working further away from the project. It is particularly useful for deep hollow forms and is a favourite with those who use the Sovereign Ultima - the extra long handle providing fantastic support.
• The SOV-16 - This handle is equally at home providing added comfort when stretching to the bottom of long vases or adding that stability often required with many turning techniques. Its length provides that added leverage and additional support. Probably the most popular Sovereign handle.
• The SOV-12 - The newest of the Sovereign handles, At 12" in length this handle delivers control at close range making it ideal for smaller projects.
• The handles are made of aluminium and alloy in combination to give the best of strength, balance and vibration dampening qualities.
• Each handle comes with a durable Softex grip for extra comfort. Additional knurling provides a further non-slip surface. The Sovereign handles and collet system are ideal for quick change from one tool to another. At the same time they enable the turner to lengthen or shorten the tool length.

Accessories:

• There a several optional extras with the Sovereign System. Whilst the handles are beautiful balanced some turners like a bit of extra weight for control and hence there is a counterweight to fit both handles. For extra control a side handle is also offered. This can be used either on the side or top of the tool in use. For those requiring an even longer handle there is also a threaded coupler which enables the turner to fit two handles together for extra leverage.
• The system which now boasts almost 50 blades, four collets and three handle variations makes it easily the most widely adaptable system on the market today.
• Until now the Sovereign system has been limited to round shanked tools such as bowl gouges and spindle gouges. This latest advancement from Robert Sorby now equips the Sovereign with a full range of tools – including blades from the new Excelsior series.
• When combined with Robert Sorby’s new Excelsior tungsten carbide busting titanium nitride (TiN) range and the highly rated Sovereign Ultima hollowing tool, the new Sovereign series can rightly claim to be the most comprehensive handled system available on the market today.
